Chapter 051: Death at First Glance

There was not much resistance when leaving the inn.

Colin and Tang De walked outside easily. In the cold and quiet night air, there was a slight stench of local excrement and something else mixed in.

The streets were almost empty except for the occasional patrol.

Even those guys who were seen lying on the street during the day seemed to be afraid of the darkness in the dome and didn't know where to hide.

Although Colin now feels that the probability of escaping at night is also small and it is a waste of time.

But now even if I know it, I have to try it...

"If this attempt fails, go find that noblewoman and see if you can use her to launch a campaign against 'him'."

Colin was thinking in his mind while quickly shuttling through the streets and alleys.

After easily avoiding some patrols of Blackrock City guards, the two of them arrived at the city wall again.

Sniffing the various smells in the air, Colin found a place with few people and weak defenses.

He looked up at the ten-meter-high city wall, then turned to look behind him:

"Can you climb?"

Tang Ken did not answer immediately. He looked up and observed for a while. He noticed that the wall was not built in a regular pattern and there were many gaps. He nodded and said, "Sure. I can climb a building more than ten stories high with my bare hands if I have the chance."

"That's fine. We have to crawl over there as quickly as possible to avoid being discovered."

Colin gave a reminder and didn't say much. He looked around and made sure there was no problem around before starting to climb.

A minute later, the two successfully climbed over the wall that was like an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people.

Outside the city walls, a large number of poor people gathered. They had no place to live, so they just tried to hide together on the edge of the city where the fire was radiating, trying to survive with great difficulty.

Occasionally there were bonfires lit in some places, but the flames were not big.

"If the bonfire in the city goes out, most of these people will die, right?"

Colin glanced at them and thought of the contents of the "Book of Numerology", which mentioned that the biggest disaster would start from here.

They are at the bottom of the world, and are the first group to be sacrificed...

Withdrawing his gaze, Colin led Duncan towards the edge of the fire world, but they stopped after walking less than two or three hundred meters.

In front of the sight, at the edge of the fire, there was a faint black haze.

It is at the edge of the light, close to the outer darkness, and is inconspicuous. If you don't walk close to it, it is basically difficult to see.

Bang!

Colin took out a bottle of blended oil and threw it towards the black fog, thinking that he could easily pass through it, but it bounced back after hitting it and shattered on the ground.

Without thinking too much, he took out a lighter, lit a tissue and threw it over.

boom!

A huge amount of flames burned up and a heat wave came towards us.

However, this raging flame had no effect on the "black fog".

"What on earth is this layer?" Tang Ken couldn't help but ask.

“I don’t know yet.”

Colin hesitated for a moment, took out a monocle from his pocket, pinched the upper and lower sides, and slowly moved it to the position of his left eye socket.

Plop~

The moment the lens was brought to his eyes, his heart skipped a beat and an extremely strong feeling of palpitations arose in his heart.

An image came to mind: his eyes bulged out and he fell to the ground covered in blood.

Immediately, Colin quickly closed his eyes and tried to throw the lens away.

But even so, he still saw a huge and terrifying shape behind the thin black fog through the lens before he threw it away.

Its body was as huge as half a mountain, and it was constantly emitting huge howls filled with anger.

"ah!!!"

Colin covered his left eye, blood constantly flowing out from between his fingers, his brain was in extreme pain, he felt his soul was trembling, and his body could not bear the pain and he squatted down.

Tang Ken, who was standing by, didn't understand what was going on and wanted to step forward to help, but he suddenly discovered that his captain had long blood-red hairs growing rapidly on his body like bamboo shoots after a spring...

An invisible aura of tyranny spread rapidly.

What was even more counterintuitive was that the shadow beneath the captain kept squirming, as if something was about to expand out of it.

"What's going on?" Tang Ken took a breath, not knowing what to do.

"Don't, don't come near me..."

After Colin spoke with difficulty, he tensed his body and struggled to fight against the severe pain in his brain.

After a while

My left eye is broken.

Just looked at it for a moment.

I lost my left eye.

Colin, covered in cold sweat and feeling as if he had just been fished out of the water, took two deep breaths and there was a buzzing sound in his ears.

He couldn't hear what Duncan said beside him...

He took another look at the "analysis lens" thrown on the ground and saw that it was covered with cracks and was already scrapped.

And call up the information related to it...

[Analysis lens (severely damaged, unusable): 813 points are required to repair it to the minimum usable state. ]

[Note: I am torn apart...]

[Note: This item is contaminated, the contamination type is "Ancient God Breath". If you hold it for more than ten minutes, you may be watched by an unknown existence and suffer from "Beastiality". ]

“It’s useless.”

Colin took a deep breath. He never thought that he almost died just because he wanted to see if he could find a breakthrough above the black fog.

He didn't even dare to think about what that mountain-sized thing he had just seen was...

You can only divert your attention and stop thinking too much.

Then, he opened his resume and took a look, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

I saw a bunch of DeBuffs appearing in the status column.

Including but not limited to "physical weakness", "neurasthenia", "left eye congestion and bursting", "vertigo", "temporary tinnitus"...

“Uncomfortable.”

Colin sat on the ground, his body shaking uncontrollably. He shook his head and felt as if his brain was shaking like jelly and he had trouble thinking smoothly.

After sitting for a while, my body finally recovered a little.

"Captain? Captain?" Duncan's voice seemed to come from the side.

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Colin waved his hand, picked up the cracked analytical lens, and put it in his pocket.

Then, take out a bar of nut chocolate and put it in your mouth.

A hint of sweetness spreads in the mouth...

Then he took out the "Mark of the Power of Gluttony" and held it in his hand.

When holding this thing, Colin could feel that what he had just eaten was quickly transformed into nutrients and distributed throughout the body.

The body's functions are quickly restored within a few minutes...

The fly in the ointment is.

When using this thing, Colin had a complicated expression and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, he felt an indescribable empathy for the experience of the judge from the "Evaluation Department".
